Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can purchase a Secondary Grow Container Expansion Module to expand your existing Elfsys Grow Kit and accommodate more plants.
Primary Grow Container Base Housing: The V1.3 model has a new base housing for the new water pump.
Water Pump: The V1.3 includes a more powerful and durable water pump, incompatible with the V1.2 system.
Silent Spiral in the Down Drain Pipe: The V1.3 has a silent spiral in the down drain pipe, which is not native in the V1.2
These improvements in the V1.3 model provide enhanced performance and quieter operation.
Gardyn and Lettuce Grow:
- Use a "fake aeroponics" design (rain tower) that can't support larger plants.
- Lack redundancy, making pump failure devastating as plant roots die quickly.
- Limited root zone and inefficient grow light distribution result in a lower ROI—at least 50% lower compared to the 4-layer Elfsys Grow Kit.
No, the Elfsys Grow Cloud App and service are free to use with the foundational features included in the Elfsys Grow Powerstrip’s license during its 2-year warranty period.
A small server fee and API costs may apply after the license expires to extend the service.
You can grow a variety of leafy greens, herbs, and fruiting plants like tomatoes, peppers, and strawberries.
We recommend selecting dwarf varieties for fruiting plants to manage their size effectively.
For slow-growing species like strawberries, starting from a bare root cutting rather than seeds can increase efficiency.
No, we currently do not sell seeds or seedlings.
We encourage you to experiment with different species and share your experiences with the Elfsys community on our Discord channel.
In the future, we plan to collaborate with nurseries to provide seeds and seedlings as a value-added service.
No, our Kit does not include nutrients, and we do not sell any fertilizers in our store yet. Here are some suggested nutrient brands:
- Liquid Nutrients: General Hydroponics FloraSeries Trio (easier to use, more expensive, great for beginners).
- Solid Nutrients: MASTERBLEND 4-18-38 Complete Combo Kit (need to dissolve first, cheaper, best for experienced growers).
To perfect your growing skills, check out our 5-in-1 Nutrient Meter with ORP function, which has all the functions needed for hydroponics.
Our system is very easy to clean compared to the tower designs used by many of our competitors.
We recommend cleaning it every 3 to 4 months, or between each batch of crops.
Most issues related to nutrients or roots can be resolved with a nutrient flush.
A wipe-down is only necessary if there's significant algae accumulation after several months of use.
For a thorough clean:
Our system does not require any tools or glue to assemble, making full disassembly simple.
Each layer has drain ports, allowing you to clean each layer individually without disassembling or draining the entire system.
Check our cleaning video to learn about a full clean in action.
The Elfsys Grow Kit has a large main grow container that serves as a reservoir, holding 5 gallons of nutrients, with each additional layer holding an extra 1.8 gallons.
If you start from seeds with a full system, you won't need to refill for more than a month!
As the plants grow, your refill schedule will increase from once a month to about bi-weekly.
While we encourage customization, we strongly discourage modifying electrical components due to serious electrical and fire hazards, which may void your warranty. Always practice good electrical safety principles.
You can add or change the LED daisy chain layout, add air pumps, fans, and grow cams, and set schedules for them within the Elfsys Grow Cloud App and Elfsys Grow Cam App.
We are also developing additional automation hardware and features to continuously bring new functionalities to your Elfsys Grow Kit.
Our product is designed in a “Kit” form factor to inspire enthusiasts to push the boundaries of indoor gardening.
